Jameela Jamil

Jameela Jamil is a multifaceted British actor, activist and broadcaster who transitioned from a successful career on Channel 4's T4 and BBC Radio 1 to international fame in Hollywood. Recognised as the first solo female host of the BBC Radio 1 chart show, she established herself as a household name before relocating to the United States. She is widely celebrated for her starring role as Tahani Al-Jamil in the acclaimed comedy series The Good Place, and more recently, she joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and provided voice talent for Star Trek: Prodigy. Beyond the screen, Jameela is a prominent advocate for inclusivity and health equity. She founded the I Weigh movement to challenge societal standards regarding body image and launched Why Not People? to enhance the accessibility of live entertainment for individuals with disabilities. Her influential campaigning has reached the highest levels of digital policy, successfully lobbying social media platforms to reform the promotion of restrictive diet products. In 2019, her impact on contemporary culture was formalised when she was featured on the cover of British Vogue's collective Forces for Change issue. Drawing from her diverse experiences in fashion, journalism and global entertainment, Jameela provides a powerful voice on the intersection of media representation and social responsibility. She is booked for her ability to address complex topics including gender equality, disability rights and climate change with a contemporary and authoritative perspective that resonates with modern audiences. On stage, Jameela Jamil is best known for talks on Body Image, Diversity & Inclusion, Gender Issues and Entertainment.
